Databases

With the 2003 data collection as a starting point it was decided that all country datasets should be merged into a common database. After that also data from 2007 and 2011 are available in separate databases. Initially, these databases were stored and maintained by the Databank Manager Thoroddur Bjarnson. During the 2015 wave of ESPAD, the international database was compiled and standardized by CAN (Stockholm).

Even though, since 2007, countries are obliged to deliver their national datasets to the database there are - as stated in the Database Rules - no obligations to let other researchers use the national data without permission.
